I just got home about 20 min ago, if that. I am waiting for my soup to heat uip so that I can have something more to eat than crackers before I go take a well-deserved nap. I feel like I have gotten even less sleep than I have. I need to mark about a million exams... okay, maybe closer to 100. That's 50 for the Methods of History class that I've been sitting in on, and 50 for the American History (ha!) class that I am just marking for.

I will reward myself with that barbeque later, and maybe I will also go to the mall *tonight*, just for a change of pace. To get that memory thingy. Zzz.

I want to make LJ updates for Perseity, but my brain is too mushy. I will try to post any amusing essay bits and definitions form the exams in a secure post,, for your entertainment.

So far, just skimming through, I notice one note about herotodus saying that he used modern methods of historiography. I can just see him using a time machine to come and learn all our secret history tricks, and then going back to his own era to become a great sagacious history Guru with all of his stolen secrets. That's redundant and probably only amusing to me, but I'm tired, so cope.

Were the tests essay or short answer?

I always liked marking papers because of some of the responses.

A personal favourite is - "There were alot of Greek gods and they seemed to have sex alot with each other"

I always like how they almost grasp the concept being discussed but not quite as evidenced by your example of Herodotus.
